Blog Bash Postponed – But ProBlogger Meetup to Happen

I’m sad to say that the b5media/ProBlogger NY Blog Bash event that was planned for 9 June has been postponed. The issue was not the level of interest from those wanting to attend (I’m confident that we’d have come close to selling out looking at the expressions interest we received – but instead the issue was around timing (or the lack of time we had to pull off organizing a full day event).

I want to apologize to those who this effects – speakers, sponsors and attendees.

ProBlogger Meetup

While a full day long event is not possible I would still like to get together with NY bloggers for another meetup (like last time I was in town) – we can still have a party!

I’m pulling together a small group of NY bloggers to help me find a venue and will post details as soon as possible to give everyone time to plan. It’ll be a pretty informal night and unless a sponsor comes forward (shoot me an email) it’ll be a cash bar (everyone cover their own costs).

I wanted to personally apologize as well. This is entirely my fault. I should have helped the team step back and objectively evaluate this, but it just seemed like such a great idea, like so much fun and like such great time that it was hard not to get excited…

*whispering tone* Hey everyone! Shhh! We’re super close to securing a locale for the meetup to happen! I’ve been talking with Darren and some others, and it looks like June 9th… a Saturday night (after the FOOA conference) – I’ll let Darren make the big announce, but don’t cancel your reservations just yet! LOL
